B. Water Quality. State how applicable state and federal water quality standards will be met. Describe measures or <br /> management practices to be used to minimize water quality impacts and meet applicable standards. <br /> f. State whether water is to be used in the operation, and describe the quantity, source methods and design of diversions, <br /> . storage,use.disposal, and treatment facilities. Include assumptions for sizing water conveyance or storage facilities. <br /> Z. Describe methods to control erosion and surface water runoff from all disturbed areas,including waste and tailings dumps. <br /> 3. Describe proposed surface water and groundwater quality monitoring,if required, to demonstrate compliance with federal or <br /> state water quality standards. <br /> 4. Describe the measures to be used to minimize potential water quality impacts during seasonal closures, or for a temporary <br /> cessation of operations. <br /> 5. If land application is proposed for waste water disposal, the location and operation of the land application system must be <br /> described. Also describe how vegetation. soil, and surface and groundwater quality will be protected if laird application is <br /> used. <br /> Minerals will not be processed or cleaned on site. No water is expected to be used during production. Silt <br /> fence, earthen berms or dead timber from the site will be placed to prevent erosion of sediments from <br /> tailings piles. Any tailings piles remaining after seasonal reclamation will be seeded with approved native <br /> seed mix to prevent sediment erosion. CDPHE Water Quality Control Division does require quarterly <br /> stormwater sampling for stormwater runoff. Current WQCD permits are COR341718 for the Ace In The Hole <br /> and COR341719 for the Godsend claim. <br /> C. Solid Wastes. Describe the quantity and the physical and chemical characteristics of solid waste produced by the operation. <br /> Describe how the wastes will be disposed of including location and design of facilities,or trealed so as to minimize adverse impacts. <br /> The only solid wastes anticipated are slash and refuse bags from the backcountry toilet. Slash will be used <br /> on site for erosion control. Any remaining slash will be disposed of on site for backfiliing excavations. (Large <br /> amounts of slash are not anticipated as both one acre dig sites were extensively burned in the Hayman fire.) <br /> Sealed bags from backcountry toiled will be disposed of properly off site. All personal items/trash will be <br /> removed. <br /> D. Scenic Values. Describe protection of scenic values such as screening,slash disposal,or timely reclamation. <br /> Slash dispersal and seasonal reclamation will be done by October 15 annually. Existing trees and ground <br /> cover will be preserved as much as possible to screen mining activity from other forest users. <br /> (/fmore ranee is needed to Jill out a block of information,use additional vheeri and atrach form) <br /> -4- <br />
